Petite balcony babies- how long till chop???

ggvccs · Feb 7, 2010

Very randomly do I post... but just wanted to share a few pics. I just ocasionally grow for my own needs... small plants.

Notice one of them has white/purplish pistils... Any idea why?

These were grown in my apartment balcony... no track whatsover of their age. Maybe 8 weeks or so.

¿Strain? A couple of lonely seeds from two different bags of some... only one seed per maybe 10 grams... accidental seeds i suppose.

Just soil, tap water, sunlight and small pots. No nutes... let them flower when they would.

from my guess you still have a month or two, but go to radio shack and get a $10 microscope and wait til the trichromes turn cloudy to amber

Not sure he has Radio Shack in Venezuela. They look decent, and all natural is the way to go IMO, if you have the weather for it. Yes, you've got a long time to go yet, but keep it up. My only real advice is to get them into bigger pots, you'll be amazed how they react if given more room for root growth. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeh, I figured a month or so... and we don't have a Radio Shack in Venezuela (used to though... the left when Chavez arrived)

And oh man... as much as I'd love the bigger pots, I have nosy neighbors...so I need to keep it small... kinda bummer. But as soon as i get the chance I'd like to buy some seeds for stealth growing.

I figured I'd post a couple of bud closeups from the previous pics just to add a little "perspective". Tomorrow ill post about this week's progress.

They´re kind of different from each other... No. 1 has these pinkish hairs... No. 2 has them white/greenish and is waaay more resinous than No. 1

Peace!

pink pistills could be a strawberry cough strain??? not too sure bout the other one. looks good nd healthy tho. nice job :clap:

Ok, so these are the plants a week later... they've fattened up a bit, I believe.

I couldn't resist myself and cut off a lower branch nug... not ready at all, but you know... us amateurs can`t wait to get a sample...

Let me know what you think...

Thanks! Prbably give the ripest one another 2 weeks... but depends on what the plants tell.

That nug u see right there is a sample from a lower branch.

my rule is always if you can bear to wait the two weeks. ALWAYS DO IT.

you may get great herb, but you will always be left wondering what would have happened.

moral of the story.
it never hurts and if they look that good now i bet they will bulk up even more!

ps

i love your president.

ok this is GHETTO but ti is a easy way to tell when to cut them down without haveing to go spend money for microscopes and all that stuff if you just want to save your money...and as low key and no nute's and all as your growing them you are like alot of stoners and just liek to grow to smoke im thinking...

so try this : watch the pestles (hairs)...when they go 90% of the way back into the calyx (fat part right behind the hair) chop them then ...it will give you about a 60/40 tricome count and will make for some good dope that wont couch-lock you but will get you MAJORLY fukt up

..just a old hippies trick from a old hippie .. :bigjoint:

Peace
